79:3 Their blood has been flowing like water round about Jerusalem; there was no one to put them in their last resting-place.
79:4 We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us.
79:5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire?
79:6 Let your wrath be on the nations who have no knowledge of you, and on the kingdoms who have not made prayer to your name.
79:7 For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.
79:8 Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.
79:9 Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.
79:10 Why may the nations say, Where is their God? Let payment for the blood of your servants be made openly among the nations before our eyes.
